GS-105/GS-108 Gigabit Switch

RJ-45 Auto-negotiating Ports

Your switch comes with 5 or 8 10/100/1000M RJ-45 ports depending on the model of your switch. The auto-negotiation feature allows the switch to detect the speed of incoming transmission and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfers of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.

Auto-sensing (MDI/MDIX) Ethernet Ports

Each Ethernet port allows you to connect to a computer or to a hub using either a straight-through or a crossover Ethernet cable.

The following table describes the types of network cable used for the different connection speeds.

	Table 1 Ethernet Cable Type

SPEED	NETWORK CABLE TYPE
10 Base-T	100Ω 2-pair UTP/STP Category 3, 4 or 5
100 Base-TX	100Ω 2-pair UTP/STP Category 5
1000 Base-T	100Ω 4-pair UTP/STP Category 5

Cable length between connections must notexceed 100 meters (328 feet).Front Panel LEDs

The LEDs on the front panel indicate the real-time status of the switch.
